You made my day! LOL I am preparing for the test and I am utterly horrified by the idea of not getting the score I need, though I know I can do it! It's this unknown that scares the **** out of me, and I know your lecture is aimed at turning the unknow to its opposite! LOL Great teaching and beautiful strategies! A huge THANK YOU! :)))
hi sir joseph can i ask what is the good website for the national geographic and scientific american method so that i will start reading. and also is it ok if i will read novels like nicolas sPARK, TWILIGHT SERIES ETC.
@twilightstar28 Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. We recommend that you begin improving your vocabulary and overall reading abilities by starting with National Geographic and Scientific American (both online). For question-type strategies and more specific help, please take a look at our new 1-day emergency system. Best of luck!
let me get one thing straight. So we only need to say the reasons the man/ woman provides, and not the reasons the reading provides right? I thought the reasons are going to be the same. Or does the man/ woman only support the idea of the reading?
@ronaldo109109 Hi there. You're right; only discuss the reasons the man or woman provides. The student will essentially discuss the reasons provided that were provided in the announcement, but he or she may support or oppose these reasons and provide additional details. That's why it's important to hold off on discussing the reasons until you start discussing the student's opinions. I hope this clears things up. Good luck!
Hi Joseph! Thank you for your videos and products. A few questions:
1. I have seen lots of expamples of the 3rd speaking question over the Internet in which BOTH the students gave their opinion on the subject (not only one of them). Are such questions also possible? If yes then how is it better to deal with them?
@urokirusskogo Hello there. We have not personally seen question 3 discussions in which both students provide their opinions and we feel that the examples you have seen are probably not accurate to the test, but if you do find this case, you'd only need to say "The first student's opinion is that . . .The second student's opinion is that. . ." Second, you'll receive no more than 3 sheets of paper at a time. When you finish with one sheet you can exchange it for another. Good luck!
Thank you! I took the TOEFL on the 10th of this month, and scored a 113! (28 in the speaking section). I found your videos just one night before the test, and I swear to God, they helped me sooo much! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Thank you! :)
@redgotham Hey! I wondered, since you took the test only 2 weeks ago, are the questions exactly as the ones in Joseph's examples? I have some practice programs (like Cambridge and Longman) and there the questions are totally different from these ones and I really can't use these templates. So, are the questions at least similar in the actual test?
Thank you very much Mr. Joseph! The videos are helpful. I got 23 in speaking section by following your tip, far more better than I expected. Thank you very much.
hi sir Joseph, 6 more days to go i'll be taking my toefl exam but still i'm having a hard time in my speaking and writing because i have difficult in taking notes .what will i do to improve my notes,please help me...
@twilightstar28 Sorry for the delay in response. Note-taking help: Make sure that you're focusing and getting down the major points. Don't write whole sentences or whole words; just abbreviations of the major points and supporting details. Are your notes organized? Make sure that they are. When you get answers wrong, why do you get them wrong? Is it because you misunderstood your notes or the lecture? Or, is it because you misunderstood the question and answer choices? Good luck
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Just received my scores and they are 26/27/28/28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still shocked!!!!!!! I didn't expect that AT ALL. I must say that it was because of your videos, which I found one day before taking the test. Those tips SAVED me. I must also say that your speaking tips are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I'm truly thankful because you spend your time doing these videos. Thanks again! i'll post it in all of your videos.
thanks for all ur help.i just did my test today and imo i aced the speaking part.i used to get so nervous when i recorded myself at home but at the test centre i spoke without pauses and very clearly.all cause of ur vids.practiced and spoke exactly how u told.thanks again.couldn't have done it on my own.i'll let u know of my scores when i receive them. :D
Dear Joseph, your free videos have been great help. Although I attended to an actual TOEFL course , your lessons are far more better ,I prepared by your lessons and I got 29 in the speaking section. May God Bless You Always :)
Good evening, i need you to know that i think you are doing an excellent job for us..the best toefl guide in youtube!! I just would like to ask you a question..i don't have many problems to understand english, but as you can see reading my message, my difficult is about synonyms..i'm feeling good about grammar, i know many words but not enough to pass the exam, to explain in others ways what i want to say..what should i do about it? it's a problem for many of us..thanks
@Incantato Hi there. A good way to build vocabulary is to start looking at academic readings with the same level and vocabulary as the TOEFL. Visit National Geographic and Scientific American (online). The articles you'll find there are good practice and good sources of TOEFL vocabulary. Memorize at least 14-21 new words per day. Use a dictionary to find their meanings and a thesaurus to find their synonyms. Also, try creating sentences using the new words. Good luck!
@tiaahuja Hell there. To record yourself on voxopop you must register on the site. You can then click on the link that says "Start a Talkgroup". Then, you'll be taken to a page where you'll see a link that says "Record a new discussion". Click this link, name it, and then record your answer. Finally, please send us an email at jmiranda@notefull.com that includes the link to your "discussion". Good luck!
@tiaahuja Hi there. You might want to consider the TOEFL texts by Delta and Cambridge. Additionally, we provide more free help on our site. You'll find a link below the video.
i just dont realize how to take notes in 40 seconds and read the big passage in same time. with pencil on dark color scratch paper shadowed by light ray. does ets want to test students or supercomputers?
@kisvarosipari I know it's difficult! The best thing we can do is practice. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We'll be glad to help.
@kisvarosipari :) i was lucky.. no clue how i got such a high score but i will vouch for the methods this guy uses for the speaking part. freaking awesome.
I had the exam 3 days ago just because i want to get more than 24-25 in speaking.
last time about one year ago i got 18 in speaking and 93 overall. After watching your links i want to thank you a lot about them because i am sure this time 3 days ago is a lot more different than one year ago.
i will tell you my new score once i know it.please contact me if you can help me in speaking. my email is mahmoudfelfel200@hotmail.com
Hello, Joseph.. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your help with these videos...I checked them just 2 days before my exam..:)....and my results are:
Reading 21, Listening 21, Speaking 23 and Writing 25, a total of 90....Thank you very much...You have no idea how happy I am now that I am closer to my dream to go to university in Canada...All the best!!! And good luck to all your students!!!
@garlicpasta We do have online systems for our students. If you want personal guidance and recommendations on which system to purchase, please email us your name and information about your past TOEFL scores to CustomerCare@NoteFull.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
I just got my test results - I scored 118 and got -1 in both writing&speaking sections. I would never have done it if I hadn't watched your vids. They are amazing and really, truly, solidly helpful.
Keep up the good work - you've helped so many people already that I'm sure it's gonna come back to you in a very positive and rewarding way. Thank you ever so much!
I have to admit that your way of teaching is really helpful.
However, I have a question in reference to part 3.
What could you recommend me, if the passage is not about a change, but about advertising for a job and in the talk one student is convincing another to apply?
I did only one practise test with ETS fake Toefl test, otherwise I used the Longman training (which by the way is a really shitty book). So I can't really tell you. But one thing is for sure, the fake TOEFL test that you get on your package is exactly similar to the real one!
I also needed to score 79, and I was stressed as hell not to get it (even after the test), finally I almost scored 20 points more, so don't worry to much :) I wish you good luck and let me know about your score
Joseph ! You are awesome ! thanks for your valuable information. You are such a great teacher who really knows well on how to help students knowing the tricks and techniques to overcome them.
@emmayiyi2010 I felt pretty good about the reading and speaking parts, and I tought that I had completely missed the listening part. I was wrong, I half wrong cause I scored R26 L26 S23 W22, which lead me to think that the computer correcting in the real test is more "generous" than in the practise test, but I could be wrong. However I think the speaking'scoring was a bit severe regarding the toughness of this part. Did you take the test recently?
@MsJacktheripper22 oh mine is in next month. i did some practice tests and exercises and found it is much more difficult than i thought. i thought i would probably good at reading and writing, but i get to change my mind right now bc i didnt do well on the practice at all. i am totally freaking out right now. its such a torture.
@emmayiyi2010 I know what you mean, but try to take it easy, after all you are not beting your life on this test. And one month is a lot of time to prepare; I did it in 2 weeks! I think you need to concentrate on the speaking and one of your weakest point! I would advise you not to practise to much for the writing section, just learn the basic structure and rules (You can find that on others videos) What score do you need?
@MsJacktheripper22 Really low only 79. That's also why at the beginning I felt so confident about it. Then I broke it down and figured that I need 20 for each section. That's when I began to stress out because it seemed hard to get 20 on all the sections even though you add them together it's only 80. I tested myself on listening last night I got 2 wrong for all 6 listenings. I was using the ETS guide and I was wondering if ETS was way much easier than the real test.
Thank you so much Joseph...Your tips from the VDOs really helped me to do better in the speaking as well as in writing section...Really great...The questions came exactly in the same pattern as u have explained in these VDOs...These Vdos are more than sufficient to attain higher scores...especially for a prepration in 1 week....Thanks once agian...
Joseph, you were so helpful with your tutorials, it's amazing !!! I had my first attempt on the Toefl iBT on 9'th October, and I just got my results back. I scored 26,27,28,28. Total 109 points !!!
Thank you very much for your help and all the very best to you !!!
hey joseph...u really helped me understand and clear all my doubt about speaking in toefl...thanks to u...i scored 26 in speaking...n 106 total...in single attempt...thank u so much..:)
So many thanks for your help! Got an amazing TOEFL score due to practising with your videos and using the techniques such as the "M W Chart" or "ET and AS" and so forth... got 116 W:30, R:29, S:28, L:29
I love the way teach..its very easy to use your tips for reading section. I am taking test tomorrow, and using your tips for speaking, hope I will get good score above 26..
It´s realy awesome and sounds so structured. I´ve took the test 3 times and recieved 24 but need 26! devils circuit^^ I guess ... I saw that you give students the opportunity to record all 6 speakinng tasks and that you evaluate it, I think I´m going to do it !
Hi I'm from Brazil and just wanna thank you for your videos!! Your method really worked!! I found your videos 3 hours before my test, so I listened, took notes, memorized what you taught and went to the test. I received my TOEFL score and for my surprise I got 28 in speaking!! Thanks to your videos ;) I really appreciate it!! :)
@mnofokansi I'm sorry for the delay. It takes me a little bit of time and sometimes the recordings are in places that are hard for me to find. Send me an email at jmiranda@notefull.com with a link to your recording and I'll give it a review that same day. I'm happy you sent me a message. Remember that I'm always here to help and if you don't get it, it's usually a technical issue, so don't hesitate to contact me to let me know. Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks a lot for your tips, verry very helpful and straight to the subject. BTW, you've helped me increase my writing score by 4 points (I got 28), but can't pass the speaking, I scored 24 and I need 26. But! I haven't watched your other videos with your tips you give for speaking. Thanks A LOT! I'll subscribe!
am taking an exam on the 26th...that is day after tomorrow.....and ur tips are helpin me ease my nervousness.i should have visited it before hand.nevertheless,thanks.these are of great help.i just hope i dont get nervous while recording my answer.
@BOSHA48 Thanks for the positive feedback. I just posted another video for question 4 of the speaking and 2 of the writing. I hope you have a chance to check them out. Good luck.

I tested myself on listening last night I got 2 wrong for all 6 listenings. I was using the ETS guide and I was wondering if ETS was way much easier than the real test.

Hello Joseph,
It´s realy awesome and sounds so structured. I´ve took the test 3 times and recieved 24 but need 26! devils circuit^^ I guess ... I saw that you give students the opportunity to record all 6 speakinng tasks and that you evaluate it, I think I´m going to do it !
Thanks

Hi I'm from Brazil and just wanna thank you for your videos!! Your method really worked!! I found your videos 3 hours before my test, so I listened, took notes, memorized what you taught and went to the test. I received my TOEFL score and for my surprise I got 28 in speaking!! Thanks to your videos ;) I really appreciate it!! :)

@mnofokansi I'm sorry for the delay. It takes me a little bit of time and sometimes the recordings are in places that are hard for me to find. Send me an email at jmiranda@notefull.com with a link to your recording and I'll give it a review that same day. I'm happy you sent me a message. Remember that I'm always here to help and if you don't get it, it's usually a technical issue, so don't hesitate to contact me to let me know. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks a lot for your tips, verry very helpful and straight to the subject. BTW, you've helped me increase my writing score by 4 points (I got 28), but can't pass the speaking, I scored 24 and I need 26. But! I haven't watched your other videos with your tips you give for speaking. Thanks A LOT! I'll subscribe!
